Visit the POOR Press Store for new publications!
Written from the voices of youth, adults and elders in poverty who are never heard in corporate and even independent media, these pieces of writing and artwork are truly unlike anything else found in the traditional world of publishing today. These books allow the reader to experience and learn about the very personal struggles and resistance of each author.
